Sample Weekend Agenda:

1. Arrive at the Hoko River Mouth Retreat on Friday afternoon and set up your tent camp for our weekend campout.  If you reserve a Camping Cabin that have electricity, small heater, metal firepit outside, and sleeps up to 6 indoors, we will charge an extra $75/night at the camp as you arrive;  Let us know if you want to reserve one for the 2 nights ($150 each).  All you need are sleeping bags and pillows.
2. After Saturday morning breakfast we will pack lunches and hike Ozette trail or explore the area around the Sekiu and Clallam bay.  A good two mile hike from the sand spit across the river from the camp takes you to the mouth of the beautiful Sekiu River.
3. Sunday you have the option of hiking around the area and pack equipment and bag lunch to leave or stay another night.
4. If you stay until Monday,you will pack up camp gear and bag for lunch for trip home.  Plan to depart at or before noon.
5. Please read the rules and waiver form to sign on arrival:   Terms & Conditions

What to Bring with You to the Hoko River Mouth Retreat–You mainly need to bring a sleeping bag, sleeping pad and tent to camp on the Hoko River beach.  Other things you might bring are:  camp chairs (though plenty at camp), rubber boots (for tidal collecting), rain gear (just in case), flashlight, sun glasses, pocket knife, bathing suit (river is warm!?), changes of clothing and personal snacks.  It is often cold and humid at night, so plan accordingly!

And we have a canopy with a kitchen (hot/cold water stainless sinks, refrigerator, propane stoves, pots and pans, and paper plates/plastic ware/ firepit with two grills and lots of firewood/enclosed hot/cold shower facility/two deluxe outhouses (with lights and cassette-tape/radio!)  as the main toilet; you can see some of the facilities on this website. You will park your van/car/camper-on-pickup at Hoko on the lawn by the beach–the road is gravel and steep, but ok, however it will not support large vehicles or RVs, so DO NOT bring trailers or RVs!  You cannot get them back up the gravel road.

Thank You!
